Chris is a big fan of the TV show, American Horror Story, and this shawl was inspired by his favorite character, Misty Day from Coven. She had a peaceful and carefree attitude with an amazing Stevie Nicks inspired wardrobe to match. These included her lavish shawls that she wore in and out of the swamps of New Orleans and captured her character of the Hippie Swamp Witch. Finished measurements: Approximately 67" in wingspan and 29" from cast on to the deepest point. You can also view all Renegade Knitwear Patterns.
Lovely pattern but disappointed because there are several errors in the pattern. I'm sorry to say it could have been written with more clarity as it regards # of repeats within the sections. There is a miscount of stitches in a number of places. A typographical error as well.
I even joined his group in Ravelry, the only entry as of this date is the entry I made and at that it took awhile for him to get back to me. He did confirm the errors I found but made no mention of if or how the corrections will be made so I hope this is done for those considering purchasing the pattern.
And I asked if the pattern had been 'test knitted' since these errors would have been discovered then.
